Linguiça (Portuguese pronunciation: [lĩˈɡwisɐ]) is a form of Portuguese cured pork sausage seasoned with onions, garlic, and paprika.
Outside of Portugal and Brazil, linguiça is also popular in Southeastern Massachusetts, Rhode Island, California, Hawaii, and Okinawa, where it is often simply called "Portuguese sausage." It is typically sliced before being braised or grilled. In Hawaii, McDonald's restaurants serve breakfasts featuring Portuguese sausage, a regional variant of its usual menu.[1]
Linguiça, like many other sausages, is generally served as part of a heavy meal, typically accompanied by rice, beans, and other pork products. Feijoada, for example, is a traditional Portuguese dish that incorporates linguiça with beans, ham hocks, and other foods.[2]
Linguiça is also used in Francesinha, a traditional Portuguese dish, from Porto. It can be incorporated in its sauce, giving it a distinct flavor. [3]
